Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this book. This was a fun read trying to figure out the clues to each mystery and who was the culprit.

I had a pretty good time with this book. Includes 12 differently formatted whodunnit puzzles that had a variety of themes, location, characters, clue types, and more.
I think this would be great as a physical book so you could highlight important details, but I was fine with good ol pen and paper too.
I can also see this being fun to play with a friend or two, then you may not even need to write notes since the puzzles are not that difficult.
I got a large majority of the puzzles correct, but the few I got wrong were split between “oh wow that’s clever!” and “that doesn’t make any sense..”

Because this is a NetGalley ARC review, I will provide early feedback below:
- many spelling, grammar, and formatting errors
- some answers were not satisfying (Room with a View - baby portion, Traitors in the Tower, Werewolf - too easy, Syndicate - numbers making MARTIN, Betrayal, Scandal, and Watch - got these correct based on clues not shared in the answers)
- might be nice to include a Notes page with each puzzle instead of 1 page at the very end
- more unique clues would be nice instead of paragraphs of text

This book is genuinely genius! I loved the puzzles. Although I was great at figuring most of them out (4/12😂) I really did enjoy spending time figuring them out or at least trying to. It engaged my brain and it got me involved in the book! I highly recommend reading if you want to train your brain and use your wits to figure out the traitors!

This was so much fun! I had a great time working my way through this book and solving the clues throughout. Now I need to find more just like it!

I’m so excited by this book. There are many murder mystery books out there and this one I was able to get my hands on. It is set up so you can see all the evidence through all the different media’s. I’m a sucker for that already. This book has 12 different cases that will keep you busy for hours.

I worked on a couple of them and I know they would be fun to do with a friend too. With the texts, phone messages and police files and statements, you’ll be able to figure these cases out too.

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group and Roland Hall for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love logic puzzles, and so picked up this book. Rather than being your typical word problems, each puzzle is a short story with “evidence” to try to identify the imposter/traitor. It was fun reading the little stories and trying to solve them. For those looking for a twist on traditional puzzle books, this is a great option.

Immerse yourself in 12 detailed scenarios. Use your detective skills to solve the puzzles.

This is fantastic and I’ll be buying all my family and friends copies for their birthdays. It’s definitely one to bring out at family gatherings.

You’ll love this book if you enjoy the Murdle books or the Traitors to series.

I find it hard to judge a puzzle book but here goes. I gave this 3 stars. It is not my style of puzzle at all. If I'm doing puzzles I don't want to have to read as much as you do with this one. It's a lot. The premise is good. The stuff is written well. The puzzles are all different mixed media so it doesn't feel like your doing the same puzzle over and over again. That would have given it 5 stars but as I said, not my style and didn't enjoy them so I figured the fair rating would be 3 stars.

I have not read a book like this in years! The stories were diverse with unique settings. The clues were interesting and intriguing. While I enjoyed reading it on my own, this would make a great book club read for those who love solving mysteries and crimes. Very thought provoking and fun!

I love puzzles and really enjoyed working my way through this one!
I think of myself as being fairly observant and this book showed me that I am in fact not…🤣🤣
Not to hard and not to easy, really fun to pass the time 😊

What a fun little puzzle book!

I almost wish I had waited to read this until I had a print copy rather than the e-ARC. My cousins and I would have had a lot of fun making incorrect guesses and false accusations.
The puzzles are a good mixture of easy and challenging, at least in my opinion. I thought they got more complex as the book progressed, but that could also have been because my attention was wearing thin (instead of doing a puzzle a day like what would have been smart, I read the entire thing like an actual book which was a mistake on my part).
If you're a fan of escape rooms, logic puzzles, or murder mysteries, I would definitely recommend checking out this book when it releases.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the free e-ARC!

This was a really fun and unique logic puzzle game - clearly done to appeal to the popularity of The Traitors series, although this is more of a ‘find the culprit’ type of game. we get 12 puzzles of varying difficulties, so if the concept sounds interesting it’s definitely worth a try!

Ohhh I loved this type of book. this is the next level to Murder Rule (grid-style puzzle). I have to say that it does require you to sit down and think about the mystery.. it is not something you can do in 2 minutes. I will without a doubt have a go at all the puzzles and see if I can catch the MOLE!

This book is an absolute gem, especially for someone like me who revels in the challenge and intrigue of puzzle books. From start to finish, it kept me utterly engrossed, teasing my mind with each twist and turn. My only gripe was that it ended far too soon! With a weekend to spare, I delved into its pages and found myself completely consumed, swiftly moving from one puzzle to the next without pause. The thrill of cracking each enigma fuelled my determination, leaving me hungry for more. If you loved the Murdle series, rest assured, this book will undoubtedly captivate you with its cunning puzzles and thrilling narrative.

Thank you to NetGally for providing this ARC.

This was a nice puzzle book that definitely challenged me! I would for sure recommend this book if you liked the Murdle books.

This is not your typical logic puzzle book! It will put your cognitive skills to the test with a challenging storyline of clues. It is unique, fun, and entertaining.

This is fun because these aren't typical puzzles. There are several situations with different situations and characters, and you have to read notes, letters, etc to figure out the mystery. There are enough details to make it interesting but the scenarios are short enough to use as a shared game. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I like puzzle books, so I was excited to see this pop up on NetGalley. It did not disappoint. The puzzles are different than your typical "puzzle books" that just have sudoku, crossword puzzles, etc. This took more analysis and thought, sometimes in ways that you didn't expect right away. The length of time it takes you to complete the book will of course vary on how quickly you pick up on the lies that each imposter is telling. Some were quite easy. Others took more careful examination. Good solo entertainment, but this could also be fun for two or three people to pore over together.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC.

A very fun evening activity with family and friends!
We just grabbed a notebook to take notes while reading through the case files, and started contrasting what we knew and coming up with theories to discuss.
Got our traitor for case 1, and will be continuing our investigations sometime soon 🕵️
Thank you for the ARC

I love logic puzzles so I was interested in reading this one. The puzzle book is nearly 200 pages and contains 12 puzzles. Each puzzle is mainly text based, with an introduction, and then the main narrative for that puzzle. There are often maps, photos, transcripts and text messages to read also. The aim of each chapter is to identify the traitor from the clues provided.

There was a good variety of puzzles - each one had a different setting and a different crime to solve so they weren't repetitive. I particularly liked puzzle 7, The Defective Husband - I thought the journal style worked really well for the puzzle and it was easy to follow. I thought that this puzzle book would work particularly well as a physical book as it would be easy to flick back between pages, such as cross referencing someone's statement to a map at the start of the chapter. With the longer puzzles, flicking between the pages on the e-book is a bit more fiddly.

A few minor errors that might have already been picked up after publishing the ARC, but that I thought I should point out just in case:
1. There's either an error on page 50 (Imogen Parker) or page 59 (Imogen Carter and Imogen Dills mentioned).
2. 'new' should be 'news' on page 57.
3. 'though' should be 'thought' on page 81.
4. 'insteaf' should be 'instead' on page 119.
The above minor errors won't be mentioned in my Goodreads review.

Disclaimer: I received an ARC from NetGalley, but this is my voluntary and honest review.
